An archaeological revival intaglio brooch, by Ernesto Pierret, circa 1865The oval amethyst cameo carved to depict Cupid holding a lyre, to an openwork floral and foliate bar, mounted in gold, signed Pierret, length 7.2cm, maker's caseFootnotes:Ernesto Pierret (1824-1898) was born in Paris but moved to Rome as a young man where he trained as a goldsmith. It is possible that he may have been an apprentice in the workshop of Castellani, an idea supported by the clear similarities in styles and subject matter. In 1846 he opened his own shop in Florence, later moving to a Renaissance palazzo at 20 Piazza di Spagna, next to the Spanish Steps in Rome. Today the building is a national monument and regarded as one of the most important historic buildings in Rome. Renamed Palazzo Pierret, his name can still be seen above the entrance.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
